In January 1935, a teenage boy checked into a Kansas City hotel under a false name and was brutally murdered behind a locked door. The crime scene was stripped of clues, the victim refused to identify his attacker, and nearly everything that could explain what happened vanished with him. Decades later, the mystery of Room 1046 remains unsolved. In this episode of Still Unexplained, we examine the chilling details, the theories that refuse to die, and the haunting question of why some truths are never spoken.

In the summer of 1518, hundreds of people in Strasbourg began dancing uncontrollably in the streets. Some collapsed from exhaustion. Some reportedly died. No music. No celebration. Just an unstoppable compulsion that spread through the city.

In this episode of Still Unexplained, we explore the strange historical record of the Dancing Plague of 1518 and the competing explanations that have followed it for centuries. It’s a story where medicine, psychology, culture, and belief collide, leaving behind a mystery that refuses to settle into a single answer.

During the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a woman in a headscarf stood calmly in Dealey Plaza, filming as gunshots rang out and chaos erupted around her. She did not run.

Known only as the “Babushka Lady,” her presence has puzzled investigators and researchers for decades. This episode explores who she might have been, why her behavior was so unusual, and how one of the most photographed events in history can still leave us with a missing witness and unanswered questions.
